Should Education Be for Free?

Unfortunately, in many countries all over the world, money compromises the stairs that a student should take to reach university or to have a Bachelor degree. A question put forward, is this right? should Should education be limited to only the well-off? Isn't education considered as 'a right for all' or this is just a cliche on TV shows? All citizens of any society in any country all over the world have the right to educate. Yes, it must be realized that education costs any state piles of dollars, yet, it's equally important to be realized that education is feeding the minds of youth and that, on the long term, it's the country's gateway to progress and prosperity.
